Recall and use multiplication and division facts for 2x table

The ArithmeKit from Buzzard Publishing provides an engaging way for children to recall and use multiplication and division facts for the 2 times table. The resource includes a variety of activities to reinforce these concepts. For instance, students are prompted to find matching pairs, a classic memory game that here is adapted to match a multiplication or division fact with its correct answer. They are also encouraged to identify what's missing in a given sequence and to create their own problems involving the 2 times table, fostering creativity and deeper understanding.

One activity challenges pupils to multiply and divide numbers by 2, allowing them to observe patterns such as doubling when multiplying and halving when dividing. Questions like "What happens if you divide 7 by 2?" guide students towards understanding division with remainders. Additionally, the kit includes problems where students must fill in missing digits to complete equations correctly, further solidifying their grasp of the times table. Through these exercises, children learn that multiplying by 2 is equivalent to doubling and they practice convincing others of mathematical truths, such as proving that 22 divided by 2 equals 11, using both practical resources and logical reasoning.
